The "deeper" meaning was Caroll's way to ridicule the direction mathematics was headed. There were alot or new theories that relied on untestable and unobservable reality. He thought this trend, one using ungrounded references, was driving mathematics into absurdity instead of progressing it.

Wow, I was unaware of the Alice-Neighbor thing. Adds a new layer to the story now.
